¹Differential abundance was analyzed by Analysis of Composition of Microbes (ANCOM) in Qiime 2 (v.2020.8)
²The ASV were grouped into BCG using Sparce Cooccurrence Network Investigation for Compositional Data in Qiime 2 (v.2020.8)
³Samples were collected on days 0, 2, 4, and 6 of each transition (cool-season grass to warm-season grass [C–W] and warm-season grass to cool-season grass [W–C])
⁴For ANCOM, H_0(ij): mean(log[x_i/x_j) = mean(log[y_i/y_j). The W value indicates the number of times H_0(ij) is rejected for the ith species
⁵Taxonomic assignment was conducted using the most recent SILVA database (SSU 138)
⁶Differed across days in the C–W transition within the crabgrass integrated rotational grazing system (CRS)
⁷Differed across days in the W–C transition within CRS
⁸Differed across days in the W–C transition within the bermudagrass integrated rotational grazing system (BRS). There were no differentially abundant features across days in the C–W transition for BRS
